Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Paraglider Dashboard Powerful, easy to use app especially for (powered) paragliders which can even be operated while wearing gloves (see below for details). Paraglider Dashboard calculates wind speed and wind direction while in the air. Display of wind triangle, tachometer, map with airspaces, variometer and more. All important flight data is constantly shown in the info boxes. Includes flight recording and logbook. Slide through the following Views: * Windtriangle * Tachometer * Map with airspaces and track * Speed vectors (basis of wind calculation) * Overview with all views Always visible: * Infoboxes with all important flight data * GPS or pressure sensor based Variometer (optional) Other features: * Show past flights in a logbook * Calculate wind triangle for different wind situations * Set destination in map by simple long touch or select from a waypoint list * Display of arrival time at destination taking current wind into account. * Load airspaces in OpenAir format * Save track as (unsigned) IGC-file * Build-in help pages * Simulation mode to replay IGC-files * Metric and imperial units * Altitude display in meter, feet or both alternating Glove control: With glove control switched on, you can control the app without using the touch screen (e.g. while wearing gloves). A menu which is controlled by the proximity sensor allows this trick. Just hovering the hand over the device lets the menu pop up and scroll through the available functions. When releasing the hand again, the currently highlighted function is executed. Why are the permissions needed: * GPS Location: Now, that's obviously needed. * Prevent from sleeping: Device should not switch off in midair. * Internet access: Needed exclusively for Google Maps. * USB storage: For saving IGC-files when closing app. About the author: I am flying a powered paraglider and developed this app tailored to my own needs. Feel free to contact me, if you have ideas for improvements or enhancements.

Paraglider Dashboard APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Paraglider Dashboard APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 83de16ff146da063e21c123f8b5ddb5f.
